Directions

Cook the rice

Cook the rice and water. I'm using a rice cooker, but kettle also works

Add milk and vanilla

When the rice is cooked, add the milk and vanilla, then stir it in

Keep stirring

Now you want to bring the porridge to a boil, then lower the temperature and continue to cook, with occasional stirring. Keep cooking until the porridge is getting a bit firm and doesn't just run of the spoon

Serve and enjoy

Now to put on a plate, put a butter eye (when you put a dash of butter in the middle of the white porridge, it kind of resembles an eye) and sugar on top. Then serve and enjoy

You can also have cinnamon on top, it's very common
